C. a-1, b-2, c-3, d-4
D. a-4, b-3, c-2, d-1
Answer: Option A
Here are the matches:
Baking - dry heat
Blanching - fragile food
Poaching - gentle cooking in hot liquid
Caramelization - browning process
The key points are:
- Baking uses dry heat in an oven to cook food, which can lead to browning and caramelization of sugars.[1]
- Blanching involves briefly immersing fragile foods like vegetables in boiling water, then shocking them in ice water to stop the cooking process.[2]
- Poaching is a gentle cooking method where food is submerged in hot liquid between 140-180°F, which works well for delicate items like eggs and fish.[3][5]
- Caramelization refers to the browning and flavor development that occurs when sugars are heated, which happens at higher temperatures than water boiling.[1]
